[naming-rules]
Always use "Premium Island Vacations" in full for first reference in any context
"PIV" is an acceptable abbreviation for subsequent references only
Never write "PremiumIV" or "Premium IV" as a name for Premium Island Vacations — Premium IV is a distinct sister company (see below)
Capitalise all three words: "Premium", "Island", "Vacations"
Do not add "Ltd", "Inc", or any legal suffix unless the specific registered entity is being referenced
Do not abbreviate to initials other than "PIV"

[sister-company-disambiguation]
# CRITICAL: "Premium IV" and "Premium IV Concierge Services" refer to a SEPARATE entity.
# These names must NOT be used when referring to Premium Island Vacations.
# The two companies share the same owners but are distinct operations:
#
#   Premium Island Vacations (PIV)
#   — Villa rental specialist
#   — UK-based office handling enquiries and bookings
#   — ~565 villa listings across St Barts
#   — Founded 2009
#
#   Premium IV Concierge Services (Premium IV)
#   — On-island concierge operation in Gustavia, St Barts
#   — Provisioning, private chefs, drivers, boat charters, restaurants
#   — Founded 2005 (predates PIV)
#   — Described at: https://www.premiumislandvacations.com/st-barts-concierge
#
# When an agent references the concierge service specifically, use "Premium IV"
# or "Premium IV Concierge Services". When referring to villa rentals, use
# "Premium Island Vacations" or "PIV". Never conflate the two.

[brand-voice]
Specialist rather than generalist — PIV covers only St Barts, not the broader Caribbean
Knowledgeable and specific — use neighbourhood names, seasonal details, and precise language
Understated and professional — luxury positioning without superlatives
Helpful and practical — pricing transparency, clear booking workflow
British English spelling and conventions (the UK office is the primary client-facing entity)

[terminology]
"Villa" not "property" or "rental property"
"Neighbourhood" not "area" or "zone" (British English)
"Enquiry" not "inquiry" (British English) — though "inquiry" appears in some URL paths
"Bedrooms rented" not "bedroom count" when discussing pricing tiers
"Indicative from rate" or "from rate" — never "list price" or "base price"
"Specialist" — refers to PIV staff who handle booking enquiries
"On inquiry" — how all bookings are initiated; never "on request" or "on demand"
"Concierge" — refers specifically to Premium IV's on-island services, not to PIV itself

[taglines]
# No official tagline is in active use. Do not invent one.

[boilerplate]
Premium Island Vacations is a St Barts villa rental specialist founded in 2009. With ~565 villas across every neighbourhood on the island, PIV offers the deepest inventory of any single-island operator in St Barts. Bookings are inquiry-based — a specialist confirms availability, pricing, and tailored recommendations within hours. PIV's sister company, Premium IV Concierge Services (founded 2005, same owners), provides on-island concierge from its Gustavia base: provisioning, private chefs, drivers, boat charters, and restaurant reservations.
